SBRT

Hi, new to forum. My husband (72) recently diagnosed. PSA 2, lump incidentally felt on digital exam for colonoscopy, Gleason score 7, 3+4, 5/12 positive cores on biopsy and decipher score .8 (high). He was going to go active surveillance until he received the decipher score. Sorting through the options, down to SBRT, five treatments. Any feedback from people that have had this procedure would be appreciated. TIA
